Michael Keaton: Being Batman Was Awesome
Michael Keaton is riding a big wave of critical acclaim for his movie Birdman right now, which is almost sort of a commentary on Keaton’s actual career, being that he was Batman, and arguably spent a long time trying to break away from that role and getting taken seriously as an actor that can do other stuff. But Michael Keaton isn’t bitter about the role of Batman all these years later, quite the contrary.

"Yeah, I was glad. Are you kidding? I mean, who gets to play Batman? It was awesome! It goes down in film lore, film history. What Tim Burton did really reinvented how those modern day superheroes are done. He started a whole thing, and I was part of his pioneering venture."
Check out the link for the whole interview, where Michael Keaton discusses topics we’ve previously covered here at Caped Crusades, such as fan outrage of him getting the role, coming up with the voice of Batman and getting claustrophobic fitting into the Batman suit, as well as things like his career path & Birdman.
